What the assistant will and won't do
It will
- Understand English, Kiswahili and Sheng service names.
- Ask for your area when it isn't clear — never guess a location.
- Show exact-area matches first, then label nearby ones with distance.
- Take a safety report and route it to a human within minutes.
- Stop messaging you the moment you reply STOP.
It won't
- Invent providers, prices or availability that aren't in the database.
- Silently widen your search beyond 10 km — it asks first.
- Share a provider's phone number without a paid, recorded unlock.
- Pretend a payment succeeded before M-Pesa confirms it.
